Wiscandia

Wiscandia is an ensemble of musicians performing Scandinavian and Scandinavian-American music for concerts and dances at festivals, weddings, church and club functions and special public events. The ensemble draws its repertoire from the traditional music of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark. Wiscandia also features old-time Wisconsin tunes which have evolved from the rich musical heritage of Scandinavian immigrants to Wisconsin. Familiar waltzes, polkas and schottisches are complemented by haunting ceremonial tunes, rousing hoppwaltzes and masurkas. (Excerpted from the 2001-2004 Dane County Cultural Resources Directory.)
